The teenage victim of an alleged city centre sex attack told a court of her ordeal.

The then 17-year-old was allegedly raped in a car by Crosby man Philip Lloyd in February last year.

Lloyd, 19, of Elton Avenue, Crosby, denies the charge.

A trial at Liverpool Crown Court today heard the alleged victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, say that she could remember little of the attack.

She told how she had been on a night out in Liverpool and “must have been really drunk”.

She claimed to have consumed at least six vodka lemonades and a tequila shot before leaving the Boutique club in Stanley Street on her own.

It is alleged Lloyd raped her in a car she was seen getting into in Exchange Street in the early hours of February 16.

In video evidence played to the court, the teenager said: “I think I was going to meet my friend. I was on the telephone to her. She could hear me say to someone ‘Bold Street’. She didn’t know who I was saying it too but I was asking for directions to Bold Street.

“But I don’t remember getting in a car or taxi or anything.

“I remember being in the car, in the back, and I was crying, screaming, crying. He was facing me and he was shouting at me and telling me to shut up and f****** get on with it. Then I have flashbacks, I don’t remember the whole thing.

“I don’t even remember leaving the car and I didn’t take any drugs I was aware of. I had alcohol but I hadn’t taken any drugs.”

She claimed that her attacker had been “aggressive” and had ripped her underwear during the assault. She described him as having light hair and speaking like a “scally”.

The girl was later found by a member of the public at a car park near Lime Street station. Police and the girl’s parents came to meet her.

The court heard that in an immediate first account to officers, the girl said that she had been pestered by a man in the Boutique nightclub, who then assaulted her outside.

She told the officer she was raped by the man against a wall.

But at 7am, she told another officer she had been attacked in a car.

Asked why there was a difference in accounts, the girl told the court in cross-examination: “I was obviously in shock and made a mistake and been confused.”

The teenager was asked in her video link how drunk she thought she had been “on a scale of 1-10”.

She replied: “When I got to Boutique I wasn’t really that drunk, about a five or six. I must have gor drunk as the night went on as the drink was on the table.

“Because I don’t remember anything I must have been really drunk. I don’t remember getting in and out of the car.”

Jurors were played footage of a woman purported to be the teenager clambering over a driver of a car in Exchange Street to get in the passenger seat.
